Answer:

17 °C

Explanation:

From specific Heat capacity.

Q = cm(t₂-t₁)................. Equation 1

Where Q = Heat absorb by the metal block, c = specific heat capacity of the metal block, m = mass of the metal block, t₂ = final temperature, t₁ = Initial temperature.

make t₁ the subject of the equation

t₁ = t₂-(Q/cm)............... Equation 2

Given: t₂ = 22 °C, Q = 5000 J, m = 4 kg, c = 250 J/kg.°c

Substitute into equation 2

t₁ = 22-[5000/(4×250)

t₁ = 22-(5000/1000)

t₁ = 22-5

t₁ = 17 °C

In avarage,How many times do a child breathe in a
ollegr [7]
On an approximate scale, A child breaths 20 times a minute as compared to only 12 to 16 in resting phase of an Adult.

So, In 60 minutes (1 hour), They breathe = 20 * 60 = 1200
In 24 hours (1 day), They breathe = 1200 * 24 = 28,800

In short, Your Answer would be: 28,800

Hope this helps!

Which property does not apply to a motor? A. It uses an electromagnet. B. The direction of current changes twice during the rota
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:  

     

Explanation:

A motor converts electrical energy to mechanical energy. A current carrying coil is placed between electromagnets. A magnetic force is exerted on the coil which makes it rotate. The direction of current changes twice during the rotation of the coil. An outside source of electric current is used.

Thus, the wrong statement is D. It converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. It is the generator which converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.
